I read the book "Get strong at the opening", but I was far from understanding all answers (and anyway, I guess that some answers would nowadays be considered as wrong by strong bots). On the other hand, in my games against kyu players of various levels, the outcome of the game is almost never determined by the opening or by fancy strategies, but by fighting/life and death skill, both opponents typically make several big mistakes during a game.
